"DICE and EA's statements about Bad Company 2's humor are worrisome."
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game
Oh man... I hope they don't change/sanitize the dialogue in the next BC. The humor in the dialogue is one of the things that makes BC what it is. The dialogue on the MP is incredible. "Hey, get your a$$ back over here...", "F'in A, that's what happens when you mess with us".
Come on EA, "WTF are you doing?!..." Don't mess this up.
But...Bad Company 2's campaign was basically a bunch of jokes about COD4:MW. Bad Company's campaign was SO much better.
Just give us a great Bad Company 3 campaign with funny dialogue and traditional multi-player like in the main BF series.
Bad Company had great humor, in BC2 Dice went for a more serious game which was very disappointing but even more disappointing was when they got rid the semi openworld battle fields in favor of a more linear game, not that linear is a bad thing but still.
An important article.
"“Some people love it, some people hate it,” Bach says about humor."
Well I like good humor and now we have to wonder if other aspects will be cut from the future installment, if there is one. Aspects that give the game character and life.
"But, guess what, Bach: some people don’t like shooters, either. If you’re going to follow this logic, why even make games at all?"
Some people don't like games either, so maybe they should sell hats. Oh wait, some people don't wear hats.
I didn't like the more serious tone of BC2, it just didn't fit. The campy, laid-back tone of BC1 is what made it so enjoyable. And the dialogue was hilarious.
